I have heard this from the time I was a young child. It is true that soap residue can flavor the pan, that said I have occasionally used a dilute soap solution without this effect so it may depend on the kind and concentration, as well as if it is allowed to soak or heavily scrubbed.
Iron is given off when cooking in cast iron so if one is concerned about too much iron then it should not be used. Also do not cook acidic foods like tomatoes in cast iron. It reacts with the iron. Not sure if it takes the coating off, or just puts too much iron in your food. Garnet On Fri, 2004-11-05 at 03:00, kent wrote: > Richard I also use cast-iron frying pans.
